Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[Doell]

True, I don't know what happened to Milan, they had a frightening decline. Maybe many have played the World Cup and are tired? I don't know, I feel very sorry for them.

Tired doesn't seem like a great excuse since they basically played the whole season I mean with or without the World Cup they are still playing it's just in a different competition. Could it be because their defense is weak? because they concede too often even up to 5 goals , I noted that Milan conceded 15 goals in 5 matches.

after the long holiday, Ac Milan's performance is very submissive and of course it's not due to fatigue but I think there are other things that affect this, of course it's an internal team, it could be a motivating factor or a coach's strategy that is no longer well absorbed by the players.
this is very unfortunate considering that AC Milan is competing for the Scudetto this season at the top of the standings but they are now declining, this is detrimental for them and vice versa for Napoli as their competitor.
In the near future I don't think that AC Milan will be able to recover, maybe this will last a long time with poor performance and their inability to be consistent.

Maybe you're right, possible coach strategy that the team can't absorbed very well, so impact to squad performance. This season Milan is not like last season which was on fire to get Scudetto, even this season they can't qualify to Quarter finals in the Coppa Italia and even then they lost when against Torino at San Siro, that's very bad.
Hopefully not, if it continues with poor performance, that's will be very disappointing.

Roma currently has 1 difference point below to Atalanta who have 4th position and it's not difficult for them to finish at that zone but they should be more consistent because the competition for champion league zone is so tight and i can see at least 3 teams who had potention to finish at that position
This week Roma opponent is Empoli and i can see from head to head statistics Roma has 5 winning streak from Empoli but Roma condition is not really good especially after defeated by Napoli and Cremonese at Copa Italy

Moreover Roma have to be careful to Empoli because this team in the good shape after successfully to gets 6 consecutive no lose and Udinese and Lazio cannot able to beat them even Inter have to lose against them so this time Roma faced tough team

Currently, AS Roma behind 1 points left not only from Atalanta but also from 3rd standing team Lazio and potential for AS Roma move to 3rd standing if three points winning from Empoli next match. AS Roma not in the top performance after losing last two matches from Napoli and Cremonese on Coppa Italia.

On the paper, AS Roma more favorite for winning than Empoli and become great chance for AS Roma up to 3rd standing position, up coming next match after Empoli opponent, AS Roma still face with small team and I think great chance for AS Roma back to Champion League spot standing position. Forget about bad performance last two matches and AS Roma have to recovery as soon possible if want get one Champion League ticket for next season.

[Slow death]

tomorrow we have a lot of games, finally I just bet on one game in particular but I'll give you an opinion on the other games:

US  - US Lecce

Lecce comes into this game in a better position than its opponent, although Lecce has lost the last 2 games they seem to me that they can get a point in this game, Cremonese had a performance that can serve as motivation for this game because in their last game they managed to beat Roma in the coppa italia, but I still think that the fact that they beat Roma shouldn't serve as a good metric that they can beat Lecce.

my guess:

BTTS

AS Roma - FC Empoli

this will be a very difficult game for rome, that's because rome will face a team that has many draws and in the last 5 games it has not lost in any game. I believe the game can end in a draw or if Roma manage to win it won't be by more than 1 goal.

my guess would be:

Asian Handicap FC Empoli (1.5) @1.56 odd

US Sassuolo Calcio - Atalanta BC

this will be a very difficult game for atalanta, sassuolo comes into this game with a victory against milan, and it was not a difficult victory because sassuolo managed to score 5 goals against milan, it was really humiliating for milan, so sassuolo comes to this game very motivated, while atalanta comes from a victory against sampdoria but they lost against inter in the coppa italia game, this could have a bad influence on the players

my guess:

atalanta will win

Of course, it was not a good match for Roma, they should have done much better. Losing against a team, that is in the 20th position on the table is certainly not good. A team that is on the 20th position still after winning against Roma.

So, they should do something about the tactics that they are implementing. It is going to be good for them if they just don't try to overthink situations. You know, Roma made a very bad impression after losing the last match. No way they should have lost the last match. Even a draw was going to feel like a loss. And they actually lost in this match.

Roma performance was relatively unstable against Cremonese in the Italian Cup. even in this match Roma played at their own stadium which meant they should be able to easily beat Cremonese but in reality Roma had to lose at home.

In this match, Roma actually played quite well in putting pressure on Cremonese, but one of the things that might be their defeat is Jose Mourinho rotation scheme in this game, I think Jose Mourinho underestimates their opponent too much.

[hahay]

If I consider the next three matches in Serie A for Napoli, I think Napoli have got quite an easy opponent. Because Napoli will play against Spezia, Cremonese and Sassuolo before Napoli play in the Champions League against Eintracht Frankfurt.

With these factors, I think Napoli's path to playing well in the Champions League is very good at this moment. I personally don't doubt Napoli's performance at the moment, so I can be confident that Napoli will get the expected points in the next four matches in Serie A.

Big match Serie A this week
City rivals Inter and Milan will meet this week at the San Siro
Inter have the potential to dominate the match based on their statistics in the last few matches
Milan's consistency in Serie A seems to have decreased after being hold to a draw in Roma some time ago, Milan continue to experience defeat after that meet. Even a team like Sassuolo managed to embarrass Milan in front of their supporters

I have just been reading up on those fan protests that seem to translate into people cancelling their subscriptions with SKY and DAZN. One source says that the damage caused for the broadcasters could be well more than 100 million Euro. It's interesting to see the options fan actually do have to put pressure onto their beloved sports clubs.

It is a bit sad that things turned out this way because it looked like Juventus might be in a position to make the race for the title at least a bit more exciting than it currently is. I am not sure what Juventus' overall financial situation is, but with all the trouble they are facing (from their fans included), this could severely backfire and throw them back ages in development. If they don't qualify for any international tournament, they might be forced to sell lots of players and they will have an extraordinarily hard time to sign any new strong ones.

Juventus is currently performing fairly well. The team is missing some great players. I think that if Juventus add players with attacking performance, the team will be much stronger.

Manchester City is currently one of the best clubs. Although the best players like Messi and Neymar do not play in that club. However, the quality of players in that team is very high. Whose playing style is very advanced. However, the team's coach plays one of the most effective roles in this team's performance.

Napoli are performing really well. Their style of play has improved a lot. They are showing their dominance in the Serie A league.

it will be a hard fought match
Inter don't want to lose the distance
Milan must recover, moreover they have always been rivals, so this is also part of loading the game

for me it is a game to be seen at all costs, it promises to be tasty

I don't think Inter will dominate. Even if Milan has a recession, but Inter has more defeats in the championship than Milan. Bookmakers give about 50% on the fact that Inter will win. I will hope that these teams will draw and Napoli (which will obviously win against Spezia) will have an even greater advantage

What are you talking about mate? Did you even read the complete post before replying to it?    The context of the post is the Milano derby ahead between Inter and Milan. There isn't anything related to Manchester City there.


Anyway I have heard another interesting detail about Juventus' possible more punishments. For example their point can be cut by 20 more which would throw them to the last position in the standings. If this really happens I think there is no way Juventus would save themselves from relegation. In that case they will surely lose many good players to big teams. Really tough days are waiting for Juventus now. I really can't believe how this is happening again after years.

Roma were performing well in Serie A. They lost to Napoli in the last match but Roma played a good game. They were shocked in the cup during the week. They lost to Cremonese at home and their trophy adventures came to an end. Empoli on the other hand forgot the defeat in the last period. They have been undefeated for six weeks and have collected 12 points.

Roma seriously want to participate in the Champions League this year. Even though they may not be what they want in the Cup they will ensure their concentration in Serie A. Empoli has become a team that frightens everyone with the form it has captured. I don't think there will be many goals in this match and i think Roma will win the match.

They are definitely doing alright, but they need to get a bit better, have a bit more wins because they are 6th right now however they are quite close to other teams. If they can go on a good winning streak and have a few wins in a row, they could get themselves in the first four, and maybe even first three.

That would be a great result, with the amount of money they are spending, which is much lesser than the teams at the top, that would give them a chance to actually make a huge profit, if they fail to do that and position where they should be, it's not going to be unexpected and couldn't be considered a success since it was expected. So a top 4 would be a success, anything else would be expected.

It is hard to say but i am sure this game will not see many goals. If Inter will win it will be by a narrow victory. Milan is having serious recession with defeats that seem not to end and Inter is working so hard on capitalising on it.

We will have the Milan Derby, again this week.

[Velvet78]

Inter are already very likely to win the derby game against Milan. Because Milan are still in a bad shape currently.

Milan are still not bad at scoring goals but the main problem is obviously their defense. Because there is no defending I can see at all. The Sassuolo game was a fiasco for them. The fans must be very frustrated with that result as well. The Inter game isn't a game in which they can fix their problems in defense. They will most probably be open to their dangerous attacks. The only way they might stay in the fight is to be able to answer with goals. But I still think it won't be enough to get even one point.

[minime0105]

Udinese Calcio will host US Sassuolo Calcio at Dacia Arena on the 12/02/2023 in an interesting encounter in Serie A. Udinese Calcio, currently sitting at 7 will be looking for important home win. US Sassuolo Calcio, on the other hand, sits in 15 of the league table and will be looking to improve their position with a win. This match will be a tough match for both teams, and it will be an interesting match to watch. The head to head record for Udinese Calcio vs US Sassuolo Calcio is worth a look. Udinese Calcio have won 3 meetings with US Sassuolo Calcio, while US Sassuolo Calcio have won 0. There have been 2 draws between these two sides. To me this match will produce goals from the two side and also udinese might win if the step up their game.

milan is in an alarming phase (see how they were beaten 5-2 by Sassuolo in last week's match), so I am also very sure that in the milan derby later, inter will come out victorious. but this derby match will have high tension because milan is trying hard to return to the top 3, shifting atalanta and lazio.

Inter Milan have a better chance of winning the derby, AC Milan are still struggling to stay sharp and consistent in their strive for champions league qualification because Napoli are already 13 points or more from the second position team so I doubt any team is taking that away from them this season with the level at which they are performing.
